The tribunal page says only a workers' compensation insurer can refer a worker to the Medical Assessment Tribunal. It does not set out a form for the worker to lodge. The WorkCover permanent-impairment page says a psychiatric injury must be assessed by the tribunal. The tool writes the index and the question list only.
